That's a bad sort of thing to hear, especially for genealogists. That some service records were missing at the time the microfilm project was begun is sure to make family histories incomplete or inaccurate.
certainly is. also, MANY records and other RARE documents were stolen, lost or destroyed over the years. i used to know a man (now deceased),who got caught stealing some of Lewis & Clark exploration documents at the archives-thankfully, the documents were recovered and he got 2 years in federal prison for his crime.
